Totally ludicrous.
Whether or not you signed the water petition, you should know how ridiculous Rolke’s story is today, if it can be called a story at all.
Had Rolke last week actually printed CCMWP’s entire November 24th, 2015 PressRelease, instead of picking a sentence or two from it last week, there would’ve been no
need for his drivel today.
A thousand residents signed the water petition, mostly outraged at horrendous water rates where they have to pay for their chlorinated household water as well as footing the bill for agriculture to irrigate farms with chlorinated—and soon to be, filtered—water.
All that expensive chlorinated water is sold to ag customers
at 5 cents a cubic metre.
Sold? More correctly “almost free”.
Had the group Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan
been formed earlier, the water petition could easily have seen half of the
53,000 Greater Vernon Water customers signing it.
Volunteers who applied for the monthly Stakeholders’
Advisory Committee meetings—now more than halfway through monthly presentations
from consultants and bureaucrats who developed the plan—deserve a vote of
thanks from all residents. Because they’re laypeople (instead of water
professionals), we can be forgiven for worrying that they’re lambs going to
slaughter.
Hopefully that doesn’t occur.
By the way, who's the P.Williamson guy, apart from being a member of SAC? His is the ONLY name with an asterisk (*) beside his name on the RDNO SAC committee agenda (page 4 of 41 here). Why the asterisk?
If you have a question for CCMWP or the Stakeholders' Advisory Committee, it can be forwarded to Terry Mooney of CCMWP at: temo@telus.net
